This piece is written after the news that Robin Uttapa has replaced Gautam Gambir for the remaining 4 ODI matches against the on-going home series against England.
Yes, it is time again to honour the most mysterious man we ever had as our Chairman of Selectors - Mr.Kiran More. If we were to come up with a list of famous personality with peculiar behaviours, Mr.Kiran More should find himself in top 10 for being the best split-personality India ever had. Modern day politicians should take a leaf out of him on how one can be as ridiculous as he is, even though he is not into active politics.
According to Kiran More, Gambir failed to capitalize on the chances given to him. He scored close to 30's in the two matches, took 3 good catches and been an effective team man. He is dropped. What about Sehwag? He has been failing consistently off late, no agility in fielding, and didn't even matched Gambhir's score in the two matches. If Kiran More and Chappal are looking at building a team, axing a promising yougster and banking on a batsman with past-glory will not help. As long as we have stupid selectors like Kiran More, we will continue to have absurdities in the team selection.

Some talk about SEHWAG at last from VijayTV.
Gambhir has performed decently, but has to make sure that he plays long innings instead of just getting some good starts.
Robin Uthappa, the grapevine is that is a good openeing batsman, can bowl decently, is an excellent fielder, and can keep wickets too. Sounds this guy is multi-skilled, and India definitely needs some guys like him.
My gut feel is that the team think-tank is identifying players who can replace Sehwag at the top and play Sehwag in the middle order.
Let's see. Time will answer what the selection committee is really upto.
